本研究的目的是揭示日本优秀女子摔跤运动员的人体测量学特征，并将其与文献报道的其他运动员进行比较。为此，我们测试了17名优秀的日本女子摔跤运动员（分别为9名和8名摔跤运动员，在轻重量级），其中大多数人在国际公认的锦标赛中获得金牌。基于多频生物阻抗分析（InBody 730，Biosspace，Inc.）和全身扫描系统（Body Line Scanner，Hamamatsu Photonics KK）。主要结果表明，参与者的特征是具有较大的FFMI（无脂肪质量除以身高的平方，轻重量组为18.8 ± 0.8，重重量组为20.5 ± 0.8），特别是手臂内的周长（上臂为30.0 ± 2.7 cm，前臂为24.2 ± 1.5 cm）。这些研究结果表明，优秀的女摔跤运动员只有在上半身有特定部位的肌肉组织肥大，尽管普遍认识到在发展女性上肢肌肉的困难。我们的结论是，无脂肪组织的极端发展，特别是在上半身，是女性摔跤运动员赢得世界著名锦标赛的重要要求。
The purposes of this study were to disclose the anthropometrical characteristics of elite Japanese female wrestlers and to compare them with those of other athletes reported in the literature. To this end, we tested 17 elite Japanese female wrestlers (nine and eight wrestlers, in light and heavyweight categories, respectively), most of who had won gold medals at the internationally recognized tournaments. Body composition, circumferences, and limb lengths were tested based on multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (InBody 730, Biospace, Inc.) and whole-body scanning system (Body Line Scanner, Hamamatsu Photonics KK). The main results indicate that the participants are characterized as having great FFMI (fat-free mass divided by height squared, 18.8 ± 0.8 in light and 20.5 ± 0.8 in heavyweight groups) with intensely enlarged circumference especially within the arms (30.0 ± 2.7 cm for upper arms and 24.2 ± 1.5 cm for forearms). These findings suggest that elite female wrestlers have site-specific hypertrophied musculature only in the upper body, despite a general awareness of difficulty in developing upper limb muscles in women. We concluded that extreme development of fat-free tissue, specifically around the upper body, is an important requirement for female wrestlers to win the worldwide prestigious tournaments.
